Known for its fiery red hue and storied history, the ruby is more than just a gemstone. It’s a symbol of passion, protection and prosperity, making July a month rich with meaning and beauty. “We work with Gemfields, who responsibly mine rubies in Mozambique.
Mozambican rubies are over 500 million years old, formed under extreme heat and pressure, and rank among the world’s most precious gemstones; large natural rubies frequently cost more per carat than colourless diamonds. Gemfields’ Mozambican rubies display the most sought-after characteristics that make a ruby desirable, with fluorescence, colour and clarity perfection” said, Faberge.
“Embedded in their host rock, rubies will rise to the surface as a result of erosion and other tectonic movements. A ruby’s natural hardness means that gems swept away by prehistoric rivers can also be found in secondary deposits or concentrated in layers a few metres beneath the ground when the original host rock erodes. This is the case in Mozambique – the land of baobab, rubies and sunsets” said, Elena Basaglia, Gemfields’ Head of Partnerships and Product – Downstream.
Natural rubies, like most gemstones, feature inclusions that tell the story of the gem’s journey since its formation, making every gemstone unique. Inclusions help gemmologists understand the place of origin, and distinguish between natural, synthetic and treated gemstones.
Rubies are celebrated throughout our collections, but are also frequently chosen for bespoke commissions. Our clients are invited to be part of the process, guided by our expert team but given the freedom to select the gemstone that calls out to them the loudest, or catches their eye a second longer.
